Ambassador Payouts
Earn cash by sharing Isaiah's World with families you trust.
Version 2026-02-20
16+ to join. The Ambassador Program and referral commissions are available to members age 16 and older. Explorers under 16 can still share kid-safe invite links but don’t earn cash commissions or receive ambassador emails.
How Ambassadors Earn
Earn Stars for every confirmed referral.
Once a referred family clears its 14-day refund window (day 15), the referral locks in and you unlock a cash payout option via Stripe Connect.
You can elect to keep earnings as Stars instead of cash, redeemable for platform credit.
Payout Schedule
Cash payouts are processed twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th.
A locked-in referral is paid on whichever of those two dates comes next.
Minimum payout is $20. If your balance is under $20 it simply stays in your wallet and keeps adding up, then pays out automatically once it reaches $20.
Payouts arrive via your linked Stripe Connect bank account within 2 to 5 business days.
US Tax Reporting (IRS 1099-NEC)
US-based ambassadors who earn $600 or more in a calendar year must complete a W-9 before cash payouts begin.
We issue a 1099-NEC each January for the prior tax year as required by the IRS.
W-9 collection is triggered at $500 projected YTD earnings to prevent payout interruptions.
Non-US ambassadors complete a W-8BEN instead.
Ambassadors are responsible for their own tax filings; we do not withhold.
Eligibility
Must be 16 or older to join the Ambassador Program and earn referral commissions.
Must be 18 or older to receive cash payouts. Ambassadors aged 16-17 earn Stars only.
Account must be in good standing (no active moderation actions).
Self-referrals, incentivised clicks, and fake accounts void all earnings.
Refunds and Chargebacks
If a referred family refunds or charges back their subscription within 60 days, the corresponding ambassador reward is reversed.
Recurring subscriptions that lapse do not trigger reversal past the 60-day window.
